10 Signs of a Toxic Workplace
Attracting top talent isn’t just about numbers.
It’s about the workplace they’re stepping into.
No need to spend money and time on them without a good workplace.
When the workplace is toxic, here’s what happens:
1. Unhappy and Unmotivated Employees.
→ The best employees lose their passion.
2. People Quitting
→ They walk out the door, taking their knowledge with them.
3. Productivity Plummets
→ When morale is low, work suffers.
4. Health Problems
→ Talented employees end up stressed, anxious and they burn out.
5. Bad Teamwork
→ Teamwork Collapses in a hostile environment.
6. No New Ideas
→ Fear stifles innovation. Creativity dies in silence.
7. Harm to Reputation
→ Word gets out. The brand suffers.
8. Legal Troubles
→ Harassment claims can bleed a company dry – financially and morally.
9. Recruitment Roadblocks
→ It becomes hard to attract and keep good employees.
10. Damage to Company Culture

Rather than spending time, money and energy hiring talents:
• Cultivate a culture where brilliance can bloom.
• Fix the environment, not just the talent pipeline.
• Make sure it’s so appealing that talent wants to stick aroun
